About this house rental
Welcome to a one of a kind surrealist adventure retreat! Our house boasts being the most artistic and best built in all of Bocas. Eco-friendly, of course. Enjoy your very own white sand beach, shade from the palms and spectacular coral reef just outside your door. The house is three stories with incredible views of the Zapatillas islands from your front balconies and natural jungle views from the back ones. The house is breezy with its open layout and beach front location. We have an option to add daily housekeeping and our boat captain will be available to take you on any tours you’d like during your stay!
The space:
Make yourself at home with our fully stocked kitchen and purified drinking water that runs right from every sink faucet! The house is three stories with two bedrooms on the top floor and one on the second along with the kitchen and living area. The bottom floor is a giant covered patio that leads to the beach. There are two bathrooms. Both equipped with outdoor showers so you can enjoy the jungle or beach while you bathe yet still have ample privacy.
Our house is stocked with snorkel gear, 2 two-seater kayaks, yoga mats + some workout weights for your use.
Interaction with guests:
Our care takers, Velimir + Fernando will be your points of contact during your stay. The house is yours to enjoy privately however, they will be available to take you on any tours or get supplies. They also are in charge of making sure all systems in the house are working great! For example, if it is a very rainy day, they may come by to start the generator to make sure you have ample power.
Guests have access to the entire house and property minus the lower level studio which has its own private entrance. Don’t worry - The studio is unoccupied, so no one will interrupt your stay!
The neighborhood:
The Island of Bastimentos has much to offer!
The house is located on a white sand beach near Salt Creek. The creek ends at a native village toward the interior of the island. This belongs to the Nobe tribe. The Nobe are your friendly neighbors and tourism helps their community grow and prosper. They are happy to show you around their community or take you on jungle hikes for a small fee that helps every family in the village.
You can also walk down the beach and run into a couple other great resorts and stop by for a drink! Al Natural is known for their scuba expeditions and we'd be happy to set you up for a dive. Azul Paradise is open for drinks + dining with advanced notice.
Please note: the island is full of life! You will have people and animals roaming the beaches. It’s part of our wonderful community and culture. Stop and say hi, buy the daily catch or a tasty coconut!
Getting around:
This is a remote island. The only way to travel is by boat. There are water taxis available while in Bocas Town or we are happy to arrange travel from our own boats as well. Pick up and drop off from Bocas airport is $160 round trip. We will take you to the grocery to stock up on supplies as well! The boat ride to Bay of the Floating Palms is approximately 30-45 minutes.
Other things to note:
Remember, this is island life - living off the grid!
The whole house is run by solar power and the water is filtered rain water.
You must shop in Bocas Town before you settle in. Our location is remote. There are no restaurants or stores on our part of the island. However, we can offer an authentic in-home chef for dinners!
Please be advised that cell phone service is limited. However, wifi works great!

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
We had a great time staying here with our two kids ages 4 and 6. The house is right on a beautiful beach with calm, shallow waters for swimming. We also took out the kayaks several times to paddle around and went on boat excursions to the Zapatillas Islands and a chocolate farm, as well as a tour into the village and surrounding jungle with local guide Calypso, which was a highlight!The house itself is spacious and well-appointed with incredible views from the deck.This is a more remote area of Bocas and Isla Bastimiento, so be sure that's what you're looking for when considering it, but it's great for those want a quiet, relatively private place in a beautiful area. There is a resort that is a short walk down the beach where we were able to get dinner, and others further down.

A beautifully built house in a picture perfect setting. Wonderful family getaway.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2025
We stayed four nights over New Years at Bay of the Floating Palms. The five star reviews set up very high expectations (and maybe some of them are from awhile ago) so I want to leave a more sober review.On the plus side: the house is beautiful, beds clean and very comfortable, the family of caretakers is wonderful, attentive and caring. Audrey, the owner, is responsive by WA text. When we complained about the condition of the property she did her best to accommodate our concerns. The house is located on a small beach on a remote part of Bastimos Island. There are 3 small eco-resorts a short distance walk from the house.
